Raised in Plano, Texas, Candice continued her childhood dream of becoming an actress by attending Southern Methodist University in Dallas where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.F.A in Theatre. It was here that she was scouted by The Young and the Restless for a CBS Soap Star Contest and flew out to Los Angeles to briefly join the cast. Candice finished her college education at SMU and moved to Los Angeles shortly after.
Candice appeared on stage in a 2002 production of Shakespeares Titus Andronicus at the Collin Theatre Center in Plano Texas. Michael Urie ( "Ugly Betty" ) and Brian J. Smith ( "SGU Stargate Universe" ) also appeared in that production.
She has played the same character (Iris West) on four different series: "Arrow" , "The Flash" , "Supergirl" and "Legends of Tomorrow" .
